wanted to share some images from a session i shot at the Valley of Fire while in Vegas for WPPI with my good friend and incredibly talented wedding photographer Fer Juaristi and the amazing Tiffany Haynes.

In #2 I'm curious - the road was darkened to emphasize the model, I presume? Looks good like that, just wondering because doesn't seem like that is light coming from a flash at that strength or direction given the shadows on the rocks behind and apparent intensity of the sun. Really nice, just curious (I think it would have been distracting if the road hadn't been darkened, FWIW)

thank everyone for taking the time to look.

so as for the road, the dark area is actually a shadow and she is just on the edge of the sun/shadow line. so exposing for her in the sun created a very dark road just steps in front of her.

I may have to stop frequenting FM as you guys are really making me go crazy with how good yall are!! Seriously, damn! Love the feel of this set. The girl is gorgeous, the lighting is so sweet, the location is perfect. Just awesome all around.
